Thirteen is a fine number (and 12 was pretty good too)

I'm not a superstitious person.
I don't believe in unlucky numbers.
I believe your life is what you make of it,
and I'm for making the most of it... every day, in every way.

2012 was a very big year for me.

I spent most of it pregnant, which brought many joys and many challenges too.

I survived my first full year of living in the far north, and we got to watch the aurora borealis many, many, many times.
I also had the privilege of participating in several traditional native activities and ceremonies. I completely fell in love with the Cree people, and I don't think I'll ever want to work anywhere else.

We travelled to Florida, and LBI, England, Wales, Germany, Amsterdam, France, and Italy.

And most importantly, I brought a new soul into this world.
And my life will never be the same again.

Wishing you all a very happy New Year. 

We'll be having a quiet night in the country,

with a snowy bonfire and some bubbly.

I think 2013 is going to be a really great year!
